The Estados Unificados of Norim Selen is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by João Cunha with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.779 billion Norim Selenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zulye. The average income tax rate is 72.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Norim Selenian economy, worth 793 trillion Reais a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 137,283 Reais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food, public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, families must live in a village for a century before they get any say in how it runs, and the gravy train is chugging along on a new track. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norim Selen's national animal is the bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Norim Selen is ranked 11,166^th in the world and 617^th in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 89.95 on the Human Development Index.
